The school is committed to providing a work environment for each employee and a learning environment for each student where safety, clear thinking and productivity are promoted and protected. Substance abuse—whether manifested as the abuse or misuse of prescription or illegal drugs or alcohol—is not consistent with the maintenance of this environment. It also is contrary to the need for faculty and staff to serve as role models for the students, and thus will not be tolerated.
Faculty and staff are prohibited from providing alcohol or illegal drugs to students.
An employee found to possess, use, manufacture, sell, purchase or distribute any illegal drug or any prescription drug (other than in accordance with a proper prescription) or found to be under the influence of any such substance while on school property, during his/her work hours, or while he/she is on school-sanctioned business, will be subject to corrective action, including termination of employment. No employee may possess, use, sell or be under the influence of alcohol on school property during his/her work hours or when he/she is on school sanctioned business or at a school event off campus where students are present. If an employee violates any of these provisions, they will be subject to corrective action, including termination of employment.
